Gameweek 7 begins with an intriguing encounter, with Tottenham Hotspur playing host to Manchester City. The Sky Blues have dominated this match-up of late – winning their last four meetings by an aggregate of 16-2 – but the Lilywhites are in the midst of a five-match unbeaten streak.

Only Man City (two) have conceded fewer goals than Spurs (four) this term, which is testament to the latter’s improvement on the defensive front. Conversely, Mauricio Pochettino’s troops have chalked up just five goals this term, leading to the league’s third worst shot-conversion rate (5.2%). Nonetheless, the fact that Tottenham rank joint-third for big chances (12) proves that they’re fashioning clear-cut opportunities.

Despite posting their first defeat of the campaign at the hands of West Ham, Manuel Pellegrini’s men still place bottom for big chances conceded (three). Moreover, no side has conceded fewer shots inside the box (26). At the other end of the pitch, Man City are positioned top for shots on target (44) and second for goals scored (12).
